Johann Most's Wild Talk in Phila-
delphia.

Execrating all that is excellent, vltu-
perating all that is noble, Johann Most
the Anarchist, delivered most abusive
and most vehement TRADE in an hour
and a half's speech at Redmen's Hall,
Third and Brown Streets, says the Phil
adeIphia Times. He came to the city on
the invitation of the international

frock coat and light gray-striIed trou-
sers he stepped to the front OF the plat

had passed through many experiences:

with anger and the bristllng pompa-
dor bang on the top of his brow

Then he yelled: "Is this republic
his America? 1t is delusion. Liberty
is lie; your government is an imam
Gus swindle." He grew so excited at
this point that his mouth could not
give utterauce to his thoughts, and he
spluttered and spluttered, red in the
| face, so red that his rudy scalp cleaned
| through his blonde hair, as two or three
sesouipedalian epithets struggled to get
loose. He fairly fro;h he'd at the mouth.
He waved his hands wildly in the air.
This act was loudly applauded.
At 3 O'Clock he turned his fierce gaze
on he reporters. The most powerful
language at his command was hurled
at the press and its representatives.. He
stamped, shook his fist, raved, and his
face, if possible, grew more frenzled
